What are y’all using for a large but portable cleaning supply tool box? I’ve got ARs in 4 different calibers plus 9mm, 22LR, .308 etc. I want something with enough capacity to divide up brushes and patches by caliber. I was thinking one of the modular options from Milwaukee? Anyone got anything better? |

I just use a sectional plastic handled cleaning tray holder with some MTM brush containers for the brushes and small plastic bags parts came in for the different size patches. One sectional part holds the oils and cleaning solvent bottles and the other side long sectional one holds the cleaning rods and the rest of the miscellaneous stuff. The MTM brush containers https://mtmcase-gard.com/products/jag-n-brush-case-4-compartments kind of are the key to making it work. I wrote on the outside of the brush containers what brush size was in each section. |

I've been using this. It works well enough for me. I do wish it was just slightly bigger. But it's nice and compact. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07YF96WFG?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I have a Large Plastic Tool Box with Tray. I have short sections of PVC Pipe epoxied to the bottom along one side to hold pill bottles with different size patch's, Hoppes #9, a Lucus Oil Bottle, and a small tub with grease. I have plastic Cleaning Brush Box's in 204 Ruger, 22 RF, 5.56, 6.5mm, and 30 Cal to hold Jags and Brushed for 204 Ruger, 22 RF, 5.56, 6.5 Grendel, and 300 Ham'r. I also have Possum Hollow AR15 Bore Guides for all the above. Note my 6.5 Grendel Bore Guide works fine for 22 ARC. I also keep Brass Loop Handle Pistol Rods to clean the chamber area. I keep Rubber Gloves to keep chemicals off my hands, and paper towels to wipe rods etc. in the box. I also keep a Sinclair Action Link in the box to hold the upper open for cleaning. My box evolves as I find better ways of doing things. An example is my Hoppes #9 Jar. While at the convenience store I spotted a small Fruit Jar with some sort of moon shine in it. It has a big lid the right size to dip patch's. I keep it refilled from my big Hoppes bottle. I have started cleaning before leaving the Range. That way it gets done. If I take a gun home dirty I will end up getting side tracked, and it does not get cleaned. Cleaning as part of the Range Trip is a very good policy. The wife appreciates my not stinking up the house with Hoppes also. My view of how Hoppes smells and hers is different. I also have a second cleaning box set up the exact same way for my Single Shot Hunting Handguns. My Bolt Rifles have been neglected lately. I plan to start working with them again this Summer. I plan to put together a third cleaning box for them as well. Bob R |

I have an MTM shooting range box: https://mtmcase-gard.com/products/shooting-range-box-n-maintenance-center |
|
For portable I just use zippered molle pouches for whatever I'm shooting. Big enough for sectional cleaning rod, patches, firing pins, springs, extractors, small oil bottle and anything I might need. Each marked on the outside for what they are for, FAL, G3, AR10, AR15, etc. |

For the range I have a tackle box with everything from cleaning supplies to brass rods for squibs. At home, a rolling tool box with three separate layers an a ton of stuff that I never use lol. I like to spend money apparently. Not this but along these lines. https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-CM-Tradestack-Pro-Wheels/5002832979 |

Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison....
| I've used a Fat50 can for 30 years or so. I just leave all my brushes (.22, 6mm, 7mm, 7.62, 9mm, .38, .44 and .45 sizes) in their cases, all the jags in the case they came in, take down cleaning rods, and bore guides in one box. Yeah, ok, it's not kewl, but it works. |
| I bought a two tray tackle box about 4 decades ago. Its been around the world several times. Its just my cleaning kit. Have other things for everything else. |
